Coaching All of You
Specialized Career and Professional Life Coaching
Professional success can bring opportunities, responsibilities, and complications that aren't always easy to anticipate.
I offer specialized coaching for professional athletes, entertainers, executives, public figures, and others whose careers involve significant responsibility, visibility, or financial success.
Our work focuses on the decisions, relationships, expectations, and personal transitions that come with these professional circumstances and it is a separate service from psychotherapy.
Coaching All of You is available virtually, including to clients outside Colorado where permitted by applicable laws, and in person at my Wheat Ridge, Colorado office.
When Success Changes More Than You Expected
Success can change more than your professional life.
Relationships may become complicated. Friendships can shift. Family members may develop new expectations. You may find yourself questioning who you trust, how much access people should have to your life, or how to balance professional demands with personal priorities.
Sometimes the challenge is figuring out what comes next after achieving something you've worked toward for years.
Coaching provides a place to examine these circumstances, consider your options, and make decisions that reflect what matters to you.
When Might Coaching Be Helpful?
My coaching practice focuses on the personal and professional challenges that can accompany demanding careers, significant accomplishments, and major career transitions.
That might include:
Adjusting to increased success, public attention, or professional responsibility
Navigating changes in friendships, family relationships, trust, or personal boundaries
Balancing professional expectations with your personal life
Preparing for an important performance, competition, interview, or public appearance
Making significant career or leadership decisions
Managing the personal impact of changing financial circumstances
Considering retirement, a career transition, or life after a long-established professional identity
Figuring out what you want next after reaching a major professional goal
What Does Coaching Look Like?
We start with something you'd like to work toward, change, or better understand.
Together, we explore what's helping you move in that direction and what might be getting in the way.
For example, you might be considering a major career change. Part of you is excited about the possibilities, while another part worries about making the wrong decision.
Rather than pushing past that hesitation, we can explore the different perspectives you're experiencing.
My approach draws on Internal Family Systems (IFS) concepts and parts work to help you better understand your internal responses, clarify your priorities, and make decisions that align with your goals.
Coaching is collaborative work that explores what's happening internally, including the different parts of you that influence your decisions, confidence, and performance. Together, we work to understand what's holding you back from making a decision, why anxiety or fear might interfere with something you love doing, or why setting a boundary or changing a relationship can feel so difficult even when you know it's what you want.
How Is Coaching Different From Psychotherapy?
Although I'm a licensed psychotherapist, coaching and psychotherapy are separate services with different purposes.
Psychotherapy involves assessing and treating mental health concerns, including trauma, anxiety, depression, and other forms of emotional distress.
Coaching focuses on personal and professional development, decisions, goals, and navigating current circumstances.
We may explore thoughts, feelings, and competing internal perspectives as they relate to your goals, but coaching does not involve diagnosing mental health conditions, treating psychological disorders, or processing trauma.
My clinical background informs how I listen, ask questions, and understand human behavior. However, when we're working together in a coaching relationship, I'm serving as your coach, not your therapist.
Privacy and Discretion
I understand that some people have professional or personal circumstances that make discretion especially important. Therefore, it's important to have a coach who takes confidentiality seriously because coaching does not automatically carry the same legal confidentiality protections as psychotherapy.
Whether your work places you in the public eye, you hold a position of significant responsibility, or you simply value keeping your personal life private, our conversations are approached with care and respect for your privacy.
